Resilient Grieving

Resilient Grieving by Dr Lucy Hone expertly guides readers through the tumultuous journey of dealing with profound loss. This compassionate book explores the deeply personal process of grieving, offering powerful insights and practical strategies to help individuals harness their innate resilience. While it acknowledges the heart-wrenching pain that accompanies loss, it also empowers readers to rebuild their lives amidst the shattered pieces of their former existence. Through a blend of scientific research and poignant personal anecdotes, Dr Hone invites readers to reconfigure their lives and find a path forward.

According to The New York Times, "Hone shows us how to harness the (thankfully common) power of our own resilience to work our way through a horrible loss." Similarly, The Wall Street Journal praises Hone's approach: "A recommended new book for those who are grieving... [Hone's] metaphor for life after loss is both powerful and apt: Think of it as a scattered jigsaw puzzle, where the pieces of one's former life have been scattered and now must be reconfigured in a new way."

In this new edition of Resilient Grieving, Dr Lucy Hone has extensively updated the text to include recent research and material from her work with the bereaved through her 'Coping with Loss' grief programmes. This edition features enhanced strategies and insights designed to help readers not only survive but also thrive in the aftermath of loss.

Dr Hone is a renowned figure in resilience psychology and is celebrated for her ability to transform grief into a more bearable experience. The sudden death of her 12-year-old daughter was the catalyst that focused her research and practice on how to navigate and survive tragic loss. Known for her incredibly influential TED talk, she has become an internationally sought-after speaker, best-selling author, and award-winning 'pracademic'—a practitioner who bridges the gap between academic research and real-world application.

In addition to her books, Dr Hone contributes regularly to Psychology Today and is a familiar voice in global media outlets such as The Guardian, The Washington Post, the BBC, CBS, ABC, and Channel News Asia. Her approach has reshaped the grief landscape, offering innovative and compassionate methods for coping with loss.

"If you are sick of feeling helpless and desperate to restore some hope and control," Dr Hone states, "then I wrote this book to show you how. While I cannot remove all the pain of loss, this book shares everything I've learned to help you live and grieve at the same time."

Resilient Grieving is an essential read for those looking to navigate the difficult terrain of grief while finding ways to regain a sense of hope and purpose. Dr Hone’s empathetic and evidence-based guidance provides a lifeline for anyone facing the challenge of profound loss, ensuring that they are not alone on their journey towards healing.
